Over the river and through the woods...

We took a short weekend trip to Los Osos to visit my Grandma Lemmon. It was the most beautiful, picturesque drive out there.
Off the side of the road was a big herd of sheep. I love the green grass and the hills in the background.
We passed by several almond tree farms. I am always amazed at how perfectly straight all the rows of crops are.
All of the wildflowers were in bloom and they were absolutely gorgeous. Here is a bright burst of orange poppies.
Ooo...these yellow ones are nice too.
About 5 minutes before we got to Grandma's house Nina became nauseated and threw up all over. Oh, what a pain to clean up barf on a car seat! She felt fine once we got there and struck up a friendship with a "friendly" neighborhood cat. At least, until the cat bit her. Ouch!
We went downtown to San Luis Obispo. Close to the mission there is a creek that Nina could have spent days in.


The water was way too cold for my liking, but Nina didn't seem to mind at all.

Here is a picture of my awesome Grandma.

Later on that day we headed out to Morro Bay. I think this picture captures the essence of the bay. I love the fog and how you can barely see the rock through it.
With everything to see and do, Nina found one of her true loves: stairs.
A huge tradition: feeding the sea lions and going to the aquarium.
One particular sea lion had a very loud bark, which Nina did NOT enjoy!
We had such a great time and look forward to visiting Grandma again soon!

  2. Hahaha!!! I LOVE the one of poor little Nina being scared of the sea lions. So funny. She will love that picture later in life.
